usually if we get the really strong gusty offshore winds we get were concerned but today is not looking like that. the air quality going to suffer once again. but yeah we could see some record-breaking temperatures outside as high pressure dominated our weather today. and tomorrow i think going to be a hotter day with some of the temperatures near triple digits. so yeah heat advisory going up this afternoon. continuing into wednesday. as we're expecting some of the temperatures in the upper 80s and near 100 degrees. and it looks like that will continue through tomorrow with not much recovery overnight. as a matter of fact some very mild temperatures overnight. right now it is fairly mild outside. 61 degrees in san francisco. 59 in san jose. a cool 48 though in santa rosa. but this afternoon hot everywhere you go. 93 in san jose. 95 concord. into san francisco if it hits 89 that will be a record. about 92 in santa rosa. all right let's check on the roads now with liz. thank you lawrence and once again, a kcbs traffic alert in effect in san jose. these emergency road repairs are going to happen for most of

authorities are investigating an apparent drug smuggling ring attempt in san mateo county that didn't go as planned. about 1,000 pounds of marijuana was found abandoned yesterday at the state beach and as kpix 5's betty ewe reports it's a sign that smugglers are expanding their business up here north. uck in the s , the smuggl e plan, the >> reporter: it looks well a -- like a well thought out plan. a huge fuel tank, plenty of extras, two engines and a waiting suv on land to deliver the drugs. but when the car got stuck in the sands, the smugglers ditched the plan the boat and the pot. more than 1,000 pounds of it. the 30-foot fishing boat is called a ponga is popular with mexican drug traffickers. because they can make long runs. go pretty fast, and hold a lot of drugs. the words on the side of the boat suggest it was manufactured in mexico. >> this is a northernmost land that we've had -- we've had at least two in san mateo county. two in -- santa cruz. and other four in monterey county. >> reporter: captain philip delano with the marine towing

company is getting used to getting these kinds of calls that are more typical along the southern california coast. >> so i've been in the business since --1990. so a long time. so they just finally got these things coming this far north and becoming an issue. the first one i ever did was last year. >> reporter: he's picked up five of these in the bay area in less than a year and finds the same things inside every time. and here's a look at what else they left behind. we're seeing a lot of rain gear on board. also a look at what they ate. there's a lot of instant lunch. mexican junk food. we're seeing granola bars talked -- tossed about the boat. hot dogs and even dishwashing soap. homeland security says the reason this kind of drug smuggling has increased in recent years up north is because they've busted so many operations down south. that's why more drug runners are willing to make the longer trips for a better shot at escaping. in san mateo county, betty yu, eyewitness news. >> and right now, there's no word on whether investigators

have identified the owners of the car or that boat. time now is 5:9. the internet is doing over a video showing a fight between jay z and beyonce's sister. why she may not be the one who gets punished. >> and there's a new way to help get help in -- get help in a hurry. mobile carriers will give users the ability to text 911. why emergency call centers say they aren't ready for the any technology. >> today downright hot and boy it's going to be even hotter. >> and mass transit so far gets two thumbs up. we are off to a great start if you're riding b.a.r.t. this morning with all trains on time. we'll get a check of the roads coming up. first we want to know what's driving you crazy? during your commute. and a question or share a gripe by e-mailing crazy@kpix.com. or tweet me at -- flush and watch eight here to see if your question get -- right here to see if your question gets answered on air. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

we are simply supporting their efforts. the united states' policy is to deny kidnappers the benefits of their criminal acts including ransoms or concessions. >> the united states has dozens of military pert nell and advisers in nigeria to help out along with surveillance aircraft and might add unmanned and unarmed drones to the effort as well. new suggests problems within one of -- video suggests problems within one of the most famous families. rapper jay z is caught on camera apparently being attacked by his sister-in-law solange knowles. it happened in new york last week. a bodyguard tries to hold her back while beyonce pretty much just stands there. it's not clear what triggered the fight and hotel management is furious that the security video was leaked and it promised to identify and punish whoever did it. well, there are changes coming in the way people call for help in an emergency. texting could soon replace talking. kpix 5's care care explains -- cate caugurian explains some

unlike calls, this text message is not given priority at this point. >> i it will make a significance difference for the hearing and speech impaired and in situations where placing a call is dangerous. operators say calls provide information that texts don't. >> we'll get it to the officers that are out there that say you know this person is -- you know a crying screaming is you know citizen. we're not able to get much because they're under a lot of stress. we have a location, this is what's going on that we can hear in the background. >> reporter: operators say callers rarely offer all the pertinent details initially. and need to be prodded for more information. which is why calling will remain the preferred way to contact 911 for now. the nation's top four wire legislation carriers say ed -- wireless carriers have agreed to provide the service two days from now. they hope to eventually provide 90% of the population with text to 911 features. >> when you test 911. will the dispatchers be able to pinpoint where you are? >> reporter: frank this is where texting 911 and calling 911 is different. typically we'll get your number

and location immediately and that's not the case with texting. this is why it's important if you use the future in the next few days to give an accurate address or location as quickly as possible. live in the newsroom, cate caugurian, kpix 5. >> thank you. it is 5:17 right now. let's get a check on traffic with elizabeth. glance guys and unfortunately we woke up to a traffic alert. we weren't expecting this problem in san jose. it's the emergency road repair that's going to unfortunately take most of the day. the connector from northbound 880 to southbound 101 will remain closed until 5:00 so start making alternate plans if you're heading that wayer planning on heading that way. you can actually at this point probably your best bet is to exit the freeway at the exit before southbound 101 at first and wind around city streets to get back on to the freeway. we are hearing better news now about highway 37. they've had these ongoing overnight road closures this week. both directions of highway 37 between 121 and sonoma boulevard. as you see there on the screen,

88234 -- 88 in sausalito. just maybe some triple digits by tomorrow. and then we'll cool thing down staying hot inland on thursday but cooling down near the coastline and the bay. and then some much cooler air coming in over the weekend as we'll return to normal. those temperatures back in the 50s and 60s with fog near the coastline. and i love it when that fog rolls in. after a heat wave? 100 degrees. >> no kidding. >> it feels really really nice. but the next couple of days take care. >> thanks. and i'm dennis o'donnell, coming up can the raise protect a -- a's protect a four run lead in the 9th and tim lincecum turns back the clock and gets help from an unexpected hero. straight ahead. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the areas that you will notice a comprise in the air quality -- compromise in the air quality when we see an extreme rise in temperatures. and that's because the pollutants get trapped very close to the surface because of the diablo mountain range. until you get the good breeze in there the air quality will be a little bit murr and i and that's whey -- murky and that's why they have issued a second spare the air day in a row for this week. so again it's a spare the air day. we are on top of the star tower. at great american here in the santa clara valley and also see some pretty moderate to poor air quality. but up at this level we are waking up a little breeze and we have roger ross here, he's a public relations director. thank you for letting me climb your tower so early in the morning. >> now, this is fun for us too. we don't get up here that often. >> reporter: tell me here at great america, we have temperatures flirting with triple digits today and tomorrow. what are you going to do to make sure everybody is cool mere. >> we recommend that everybody takes care of the sunscreen and plenty of hydration and you

>> i know we need to get you out there. >> you have to live a little liz come on. >> live it up. all right, let's go outside and show you what's going on. if you're crossing the golden gate bridge, it's actually a picture-perfect. i wanted to show you how lovely the shot is right now. the sun just -- well not quite coming up yet and traffic is flowing nicely as well. southbound heading into san francisco. but just again watch out. that last exit into san francisco slightly moved there and it's gosh been causing a lot of confusion for drivers. our reporter on the scene caught an accident happening there. live on the cameras. all right outside we go. and checking the road sensors the south bay now and that connector ramp remains closed northbound 880 to southbound 101. unfortunately this emergency road repair we hearing-impaired about this just about -- heard about this about to start the show this morning and the closure is in effect most of the day today. should be wrapping up just in time for the evening commute by about 5:00. but in the meantime you can get off at north first and we are seeing the delays through the pass and even through the livermore valley now.

speeds pick up a bit past vasco road. that's your latist traffic. back to you guys. right now police are asking for the public's help to try and find a missing 7-year-old girl from oakland. kyianna orear was last seen last night about 6:00 at her home on 73rd avenue. she's about 4'0" tall, brown eyes and bun hair. and -- brown hair. and she was last seen wearing a plaque shirt, blue -- black shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. if you have any information about the young girl, call the oakland police. officials are under fire in oakland because of a dead dog. a viewer sent us this photo. it's the dog's body in front of the post office at 92nd and international in east oakland. we talked to oakland police and they told us someone reported the dog last tuesday. but it wasn't picked up until last night. opd says quote -- we apologize for the delayed response and are working diligently to address staffing shortages at the animal shelter. richmond police are trying to track down a driver involved in the crash.

happened about 9:00 last night 23rd street and lincoln avenue. witnesses say the driver of the white ford pickup was on the phone talking. the man got out of the pickup and then ran off. two people were injured but there's no word on their conditions this morning. well, san francisco is having a big time problem with its brand new emergency dispatch system. it's caused some $3.5 million to upgrade the system and it's supposed to improve communication between the 9 # 1 center, police and the fire department. but so far, the upgrade is actually making matters worse. >> they can't exactly obtain the information needed to respond to calls for service. the information is in bits and pieces and there's a piece of information appears and another piece down here. you have to scroll down and the information is not all consistent. >> the police and the fire departments are now back to square one using their own radios and pen and paper. emergency management officials say the issues are being addressed and overall emergency response has not been affected.

tight fit. may team mitts kept me in great position and i'm happy i could win. >> reporter: stage three starts right here at lacuningham in east -- lake cunningham in east san jose. by the ways this ninth year in a row san jose is hosting a stage of the tour. for a toe al of 108.5-miles and did i mention 10,900 feet of climbing? so good luck to the riders. they will need it especially when they're competing with -- bradley wiggins, he's the only man to win the tour de france back in 2012 and the olympic gold medal in the same year. the race starts here at 10:45 in the morning in east san jose. we're live, kiet do, kpix 5. >> the amgen tour ends in thousand oaks in southern california on sunday. well, americans are getting older. the census bureau expects 21% of americans to be 65 years old and up by 2050. >> i just hope to still be alive at that point. that's compared to just 13% in 2010 and under 10% in 1970.

cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here to tell us the implication of the ailing population on -- aging population on long-term care. >> reporter: yeah, it's really over 100 years when you think about it. according to a recent "60 minutes" segment, since the start of the 20th century, we have increased life expectancy in this country by a remarkable 30 years. go back to 100ment we were living to 49. -- 1900. we were living to 9. today it's -- 49. today it's 79 and women and men above the age of 90. they are now the fastest growing segment of the u.s. population. >> well, jill, living long poses risks around health care, what should we know? >> reporter: you know about 70% of folks who are over the age of 65 will require some type of long-term care services during their lifetimes. more than 40% will need care in a nursing home.

the cost is pretty steep. the median annual cost for a private nursing home room is $87,600 and prices vary widely across the country. if you don't need a facility the national hourly median rate for a licensed home health aide is $20 an hour. >> what protections are there out there for seniors worried about that long-term care? >> reporter: i really have toppled fa size this because one -- to emphasize this because one of the big misconceptions about long-term care is that medicare coverage is available. it's not. medicare only addresses short- term skilled services or rehabilitative care. the only government provided insurance that provides long- term care coverage is medicaid. but remember, you've got to qualify and to do that you probably are going to have to deplete most of your assets. that leaves a big hole and a lot of people are trying to reach out and figuring out whether they need private long-
